01 Start here — direct answer

What are syringomas, and why do they need staged treatment in Busan?

Syringomas are benign growths of the sweat ducts, one to three millimetres, skin-coloured to faintly yellow, scattered under the eyes and sometimes on the lids, cheeks and neck, appearing from the twenties and commoner in women and in East Asian skin. They are not milia (hard white keratin cysts), not whiteheads and not fat, which is why nothing applied to the surface changes them: the growth sits in the dermis, below anything a cream, peel or squeeze can reach, under the thinnest skin on the face. Treating them means destroying the duct tissue at depth without damaging the surface, which is a precision problem, and doing it in stages because too much energy in one session on under-eye skin scars.

At Boom Dermatology the two tools are Agnes, an insulated microneedle that releases RF only at its tip inside each lesion, so the duct is coagulated and the skin it passed through is untouched, ₩275,000 for a full under-eye session, and the precision CO2 laser, which vaporises each lesion from the top, ₩5,500 to ₩33,000 per lesion, suited to fewer or larger ones. Both are staged: two or three sessions six weeks apart, each clearing a layer and letting the skin recover, with a photo at each visit. Treated lesions rarely return; new ones can appear over years. Milia and under-eye fat are different problems with their own pages.

What Busan patients ask before Syringoma removal
  • Why won't these bumps squeeze, peel or fade like everything else under my eyes?
  • Why staged sessions? Why can't one strong session clear them?
  • Will they come back after treatment, honestly?
  • Is it safe that close to my eyes, on that thin skin?
  • Milia, syringoma or something else: how do I know which I have?

All of these come up most weeks at our Seomyeon skin clinic. The page answers them in order.

02 Who it suits

Who syringoma treatment suits, and who should wait

Good candidates

  • Scattered skin-coloured bumps under the eyes or on the lids
  • Syringomas on the cheeks, neck or chest
  • Patients who have tried peels, creams or squeezing without change
  • Patients who can return for two or three staged sessions
  • Visitors who can travel with pinpoint crusts

We will suggest something else

  • Hard white bumps, which are milia and come off in one visit
  • A single growing or changing bump; it is checked first
  • Active infection or eczema around the eyes
  • Isotretinoin recently; keloid tendency
  • Blood thinners without clearance

03 The visit

What happens at a syringoma session in Seomyeon?

This is how a syringoma visit runs at Boom Dermatology, a skin clinic in Seomyeon, Busan, from the first message to the review.

1

Message first

A daylight photo without make-up and what bothers you. The doctor replies with the plan, the device, the session count and the VAT-included price.

2

Consultation

The problem is read, not assumed: type, depth, skin type, history. The plan and settings go on your record.

3

Cleanse and cool

Make-up off, eye shields on; cooling gel or numbing cream by device.

4

Test pulses, then treatment

A few test pulses where the response can be read, then the session by the doctor.

5

Out the door

Sunscreen before you leave; aftercare by device, written on WhatsApp.

6

Review and rhythm

A photo at two to six weeks sets the interval; a mid-course review decides continue, stop or switch.

How does Boom Dermatology treat syringomas without scarring?

Three rules for a dermal lesion under the thinnest skin on the face.

Destroy the duct, spare the surface

Insulated RF at the tip of the needle, or a laser pulse to the lesion only; nothing wider.

Stage it

Two or three sessions six weeks apart; one aggressive session on under-eye skin leaves marks.

Eye protection and depth control

Shields in place; needle length and laser depth set per lesion and written on your record.

07 Questions, answered properly

Why won't these bumps squeeze, peel or fade like everything else under my eyes?

Because they are not on the surface and have no content to squeeze. A syringoma is a growth of sweat-duct tissue in the dermis; a peel reaches the epidermis, a squeeze bruises the skin above, a cream never gets near it. Only energy delivered to the lesion itself, by RF needle or laser, changes it, which is why they have outlasted everything you have tried. At Boom Dermatology that is the first thing we explain.

Why staged sessions? Why not one strong session?

Because the skin under the eye is the thinnest on the face and scars if it is overtreated, and because syringomas sit at slightly different depths. Each session clears a layer with the surface intact; six weeks later the skin has recovered and the next layer is treated. Two or three sessions gives a flat, unmarked result; one strong session gives a faster result with marks you keep. We choose the former and say so.

Will they come back after treatment, honestly?

Treated lesions rarely do, because the duct tissue is destroyed. New syringomas can appear over years, since the tendency remains, and are treated when they do. Patients at our Seomyeon skin clinic are told the difference before the first session.

Is it safe that close to my eyes?

Yes, with the tools designed for it: Agnes releases energy only at the needle tip inside the lesion, the laser pulse is confined to the lesion, plasma works at a pinpoint on the lid margin, and the eye is shielded throughout. It is the commonest under-eye lesion we treat.

Milia, syringoma or something else?

Hard, white, pearly: milia, which come off in one visit. Skin-coloured or faintly yellow, soft, scattered symmetrically: syringomas, which are staged. Yellow flat plaques on the lids: xanthelasma. A single growing bump: checked with a dermatoscope first. The doctor at Boom Dermatology in Busan tells you which from a close photo, and often from the photo alone.
